Given the equation 2y = 5x - 3:
A way to find out which of the ordered pair options lie on the line is to substitute their coordinates into the equation.
A) (2, 5)
2y = 5x - 3
2(5) = 5(2) - 3
10 = 10 - 3
10 = 7 (False statement). this means that (2, 5) is not a solution to the given equation.
B) (6, 3)
2y = 5x - 3
2(3) = 5(6) - 3
6 = 30 - 3
6 = 27 (False statement). this means that (6, 3) is not a solution to the given equation.
C) (3, -6)
2y = 5x - 3
2(-6) = 5(3) - 3
-12 = 15 - 3
-12 = 12 (False statement). this means that (3, -6) is not a solution to the given equation.
D) (3, 6)
2y = 5x - 3
2(6) = 5(3) -3
12 = 15 - 3
12 = 12 (True statement). This means that (3, 6) IS a solution to the given equation.
E) (2, -5)
2y = 5x - 3
2(-5) = 5(2) - 3
-10 = 10 - 3
-10 = 7 (False statement). this means that (2, -5) is not a solution to the given equation.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: (3, 6).
Divide 8 by 8= 1
divide 40 by 8=5
1/5
Speed is expressed as the ratio of distance/time = d/t
in Alex's case, speed = (3.8 miles / 18 minutes)
. . . or simply
3.8/18
